sad, but sometimes life deals bad hands. just can't visualize myself....
very sad to hear, occurs far too often
It's so easy to slip and bust your butt on those rocks down there
Hate that. Since the end of 2010 I have read of a lot of drownings down there. Why is there so many compared to the others. Heck even if I wanted to fish it my wife has told me no way:)

There's a lot of water skiers up the river, sandbar drinkers, etc, and when you add that to very little enforcement, statistics are what you get. Far as the rest of the lake. It is shallow. Everyone needs to be familiar with it. It don't take much error in a lot of places to make the day go bad. Then on the other hand, just because your in 20 FOW, don't mean you're all clear. There's 20-24' flooded timber. By the time you see the tops.. When the lake is full .. It could be to late.. I personally stay away from the upper river when all the traffic is there. It just makes more sense to me not to chance it. Me personally would like to see more boating enforcement on Barnett. Especially the 43 bridge!! Even though I hardly ever fish around there, it still sucks to meet a boat going 70MPH at the bridge.
Prayers sent!Sure is tragic! Even a good swimmer can't handle really cold water long!
Prayers sent to the mans family.
Very true.....and even if you have thought yourself to be a good swimmer all your life.....things change when a person gets older.Quote:

I was a good swimmer when I was young and didn't pay much attention to wearing a lifejacket. My daddy snatched me out of a boat one day and "calibrated" me on that issue. Don't remeber much of what he said except "you may be a good swimmer, but when you fall out of the boat and bump your head hard enough to knock yourself out, don't matter how good you can swim"Quote:
